V.P. Singh was also a talented artist. His engagement with the arts began long before his political career and continued when he returned to painting while recuperating from illness. Singh's work—primarily sketches, watercolors, and oil paintings—has been exhibited in New Delhi, Mumbai, London, and other cities. In his later years, the themes in his art became more restless and frenzied.<ref>{{Cite web |title=V P Singh {{!}} Paintings by V P Singh {{!}} V P Singh Painting - Saffronart.com |url=https://www.saffronart.com/artists/v-p-singh |access-date=2024-09-22 |website=Saffronart}}</ref>
